Mike Tyson wanted to fight a gorilla

[The Scientist]

Anyone who says that the Gorilla would win is an idiot.

Tyson is the toughest man ever to step into a ring, I would put serious money on Mike over two gorillas at the same time.

'You couldn't last 2 minutes in my world'

Something I agree with 100% when he said it. No-one would be able to last, they'd either commit suicide or be in jail for first degree murder.

Wow. I didn't know this actually took place.

Tyson vs. Gorilla

In February of 1988, a month after Mike Tyson destroyed Larry Holmes- with money and fame at his beck and call- the prolific heavyweight champion attempted to enter a Silverback Gorilla cage at the San Diego Zoo. Offering ten thousand dollars cash, Tyson attempted to gain entry to the Gorilla enclosure to, "Knock that hairy ****er out," as he was reported to have claimed.

Of course, Tyson was denied such entry; and this is the story most know. What some fail to realize is, three months later, Mike Tyson was able to charter a flight to Zimbabwe and, hiring local guides, track down a gorilla in the wild.

"I'd like to say I knocked him out clean with one punch. I didn't. It took two to drop that hairy fool. I'm indestructible. I'm a whole new species. I'm a monster. I'm a beast. I should be locked up, but they wouldn't dare try." He was quoted as saying- and the aftermath of Tyson's attack on a wild Silverback Gorilla was forever immortalized in this, the only known photograph of the event.

that's a sad picture..

the fact Mike actually thought he could KO a gorilla proves the gorilla was actually smarter than him.

Gorilla's intelligence-------->Tyson's intelligence

Mike, all of the gorillas laughed when they heard you squandered away almost $300 million.

50 men, bare handed could not take on a male gorilla in it's prime. Even if they were all clones of Tyson.

Your telling me a 745 lb, 6ft Gorilla. Arms strong enough to flip a family sedan and can tear the arms off a human, would lose to Tyson?

Tyson could flip a family sedan and he tore the ear off a human

If the price was right he'd fight a lion!

Seriously though I also heard rumors that Tyson wrestled with the tigers he kept as pets in his backyard, I also heard he punched one of them in the nose. Dont know if theyre true though.

If tyson punched one of the tigers in the nose he would of being eaten alive . How did tyson manage to have pet tigers . Tigers are viscious creatures they would eat you for dinner .

No animal bites the hand that feeds them. Even wild ones abide by this rule unless they get confused and think they are under attack. That's why zookeepers always go in the cages, and they turn on them very rarely. Don't know about him punching them, but he's even been on video wrestling one. I heard he got rid of the white siberian tiger cos one day it put his paw on Tyson's head, and after an hour of stroking it the tiger chipped. One wrong move and his skull would have been crushed.

You ain't! roger MAyweather does look like an ape or gorilla and he is one of the ugliest ****s in what is already a not so good looking family. Add Jeff Mayweather on Facebook and you can see all three of 'em sitting down with their mum. I think it was the dad's who made 'em so damn ugly!

that's a sad picture..

Yeah but that Gorrila was washed up by the time they got to him. If it had been 5 years earlier the picture would look a little different.
